For anyone interested,
The Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa has a great display on his dealings with Fred Trump.
Epic museum and archive.
And the Bob Dylan Center is on the same block! 💙
Fred was a real POS

“I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project”
“Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home! “
I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both
Welcoming you here to Beach Haven
To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place
To have your kids raised up in.
Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!”
"Old Man Trump" is a song with lyrics written by American folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie in 1954. The song describes what Guthrie felt were the racist housing practices and discriminatory rental policies of his landlord, Fred Trump, father current president-elect Donald Trump.
From the song: «Well, well, Trump, you made a tramp out of me; Well, well, Trump, you made a tramp out of me; You charge me so much it just ain’t human, I’ve got to try to live with president Truman; Yess, Trump, you made a tramp out of me.»
Thanks for posting that about trumps father. That shows what kind of family heritage he came from. Everyone should read Mary Trump's first book, that explains it all.
